Supper at Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar, Las Vegas

I was quite excited when I heard that Guy Fieri had just opened his new restaurant in Las Vegas! I enjoy watching his show and thought he was pretty funny so his food should be fun to eat, too! So why not give it a try, right?  At first I was hesitant because of all the bad reviews I read online, but I thought I should at least give it a try and judge it myself.

First of all, I do agree with most reviews that the food portions, especially burger menu, are pretty massive!
I wish the restaurant would have used bigger plates to serve us because it was so hard to eat off of such tiny plates without making a mess.

My husband and I were seated right outside the restaurant and the atmosphere was pretty fun with all the loud music from next door. I was glad we got the outdoor table because it looked pretty cramped inside the restaurant.

There were two of us and we shared Los Nachos Del Jefe for an appetizer. Looks like it has since been removed from the menu as I don't see this dish anymore (we were there in July this year). That is too bad as they tasted really good. However we soon wished we hadn't ordered an appetizer because it made us feel nearly full before even receiving our entrees!

For the main course, my husband had the Off-Da-Hook Original Smash-Burger. He found it a bit awkward  and messy to eat because the wooden platter it was served on was too small.  The burger was a little bit soggy but he did enjoy it. However, if he had to choose between Guy Fieri's burger and one at Gordon Ramsay BurGR at Planet Hollywood, he said he would have chosen Gordon BurGR without a doubt. I got to try the fries in various shapes on the side and they were pretty tasty.

I ordered Carne Asada Street Tacos because I thought it wouldn't be too messy for me to eat but I was wrong. The platter was too small so I dropped the shredded lettuce everywhere and even lost some steak bites from the tacos. The dipping sauce bowl was also a bit too small so it was pretty hard for me to dip my tacos in it. I really liked the taste of my marinated skirt steak, it was so juicy and flavorful. I think I would have preferred to just have the steak bites, actually. Maybe it was because I was too full by this time to eat the whole thing.

We didn't have dessert as we were both so full. We might go back there again to try other dishes and will let you know how it is next time.
